Tale of 2 restaurants:
Cactus Club Café & Earl’s Restaurant, Station Square, Burnaby, BC.
Right beside each other, newly-built restaurants, both busy.

Station Square, Burnaby:
Cactus Club - has glass floor-ceiling walls that open. Except they were closed. Outside temp 20C. Non-chalant “no” when asked if they would open walls, even partially. CO2 levels 850-880 ppm.
Patio area was closed, too, so indoors was it.😬
Grade: C-

Conclusion: while ventilation in Cactus Club was so-so (not a total fail), they had the infrastructure to open walls up but didn’t. With a highly transmissible variant, no masks, people laughing & talking in each other’s faces, it’s a superspreader waiting to happen…

5/ Whereas Earl’s had open windows for indoor diners plus an expansive open air patio, set up for comfort yet safety.👏
